Today marks Prince William‘s 41st birthday, the first since he assumed the position of next in line to the throne.
King Charles has uploaded a social media post to wish them a happy birthday, as has become customary whenever a royal celebrates a birthday.
A picture of the father and son was published from the Royal Family’s official account.
The caption ended with an emoji of a balloon and stated, “Wishing the Prince of Wales a very happy birthday today.”
It shows William assisting his father with tying a ceremonial golden robe during a rehearsal for the Coronation ceremony earlier this year.
Both can be seen smiling as they shared a sweet moment during the preparations for the event, showing their strong bond.
Royal fans were quick to wish him a happy birthday and some congratulated the King on ‘raising such a wonderful young man’.
Another comment read: ‘A lovely photo from the Coronation rehearsal. Great to see a lighter moment and one of such obvious affection.’
William’s birthday comes just days after he committed to building social housing on the Duchy of Cornwall’s land.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, he revealed his plans for social housing on the 130,000-acre estate he now controls.
The prince also stressed he wants to make it his mission to end homelessness in the UK and that he is about to launch a ‘really big project’ to take on the issue.
